What does a girbil eat?

A gerbil can eat any gerbil diet that you can buy in the pet stores. And you can feed a gerbil things from your house like VERY SMALL AMMOUNTS of apples, grapes, peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, peanut butter, all natural apple sauce ( no flavoring added, just plain apple sauce ), spinach, carrots, and any kind of gerbil treats you can buy in the store. I feed my gebils Forti-Diet Gerbil and Hamster Pellets and seed mix. THEY LOVE IT!

Also, they love to chew, and I do NOT suggest getting a critter trail cage for gerbils. I have six gerbils, and they chewed on their critter trail cages like there was no tomorrow! I had to get four glass aquariums for all my gerbils. The only reason why I was really worried about them in the critter trail cages was because the tubing, since it was plastic, the gerbils would be able to chew through it and get out. I have had two gerbils escape a critter trail cage, too. One of them sadly did not make it because of it. So I do not suggest critter trail cages.

They also cannot have various woods that have oils in them. They will have an allergic reaction to it.

But, I got some wood bedding from petsmart ( HUGE BAG $10 XD ). I think that bedding was processed in a way that all the oils got removed, my gerbils have been fine. But, only the pet bedding. You cannot just buy wood and cut it and give it to them. That still has oils in it.

As for chew toys, you can just give them stuff like toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, and Cereal Boxes ( I tear off the tabs that have glue on them from any boxes I give them. For the safety of the gerbils. you never know what is in the glue! )

hope all of this helps ya!

Does hamster food expire?

Not officially but do check it visually to see if it is fresh. Fruit/seed mixes should smell sweet. If a large quantity of food is purchased (commercial hamster block or other), take a little out that you will use in a few weeks and put the rest in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

Also, try not to overfeed your hamster so that it eats what you provide it within 1-2 days. 4 blocks a day is sufficient plus an occasional treat.

How do you bond with your gerbils?

you should every day if possible play with your gerbils.You also should give them treats out of your hand, pick them up, talk to them in a soft,calming voice, be gentle, dont drop,squezze, or hurt them. Something fun to do with your gerbils is take safe items around the house and make an agilty course. In this course would be tunnels, jumps,ladders, and maybe even a slide. I do this alot with my gerbils and they love it. Hope this helps.

P.S. I really think you should try the aglity course.

Your gerbil has has a spot of hair missing on his back is it bad?

Gerbil hair loss may be caused by many reasons. The gerbil's cage mate could be fighting him for dominance, and could've bitten there; you may have to watch them. Mites can cause hair loss, and that needs to be checked out immediately. Or the gerbil is simply bored and is over-grooming. Throw in an extra toy or something new!
